A piano .

Explanation:

James Weldon Johnson's fictional "The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," tells the story of a biracial man and his 'journey to understand and accept his identity. The story deals with themes of race, acceptance, and understanding one's real identity.

While the narrator seemed confused about who his real father is and why he is not with them, he also gets to meet him and even shows his musical prowess. A couple of weeks after he met his father for the first time, he got a piano delivered to their residence. At first, he was confused, revealing he almost "[told] the men on the wagon that they had made a mistake", his mother told him that it was actually a gift from his father.

Thus, the gift was a piano, "a beautiful, brand-new, upright piano."
